Help Name This Gnome!

Remember my gnome, Fearsome the Fierce
who came to guard my basket of cushions last year?


Well, my sister loved him so much 
she just HAD to have a gnome of her own, 
so my crafter friend made her one 
in blue and silver. 

Here he is in his new home
at my sister's place.

Isn't he adorable?


But now he needs an appropriate name! 

My sister inquires whether
anyone has some inspired suggestions?

Please share them in the comments!

These are gorgeous little guys! My dad's side of the family are from Bornholm in Denmark, where we call these nissen. But my household nisse is not as beautifully crafted as these two (although I won't tell him that...)! So I'll suggest Norman the Nisse 😂

baili said...

usually girls like to have bunnies and teddy bears dear Debra but your sister sounds different and unique :)

i liked him ,he looks serene and witty in blue so i would call him saint :)

Jack, short for lumberjack, I love the plaid on the bottom and the big hat.

BootsandBraids said...

Silver Bell the Serene or Silver Bell the Peacemaker

S M McBean said...

My first thought was Blue Bell or Blueball. How about Plaid Chad?

Mistress Maddie said...

Blue Adan. The name means earth. They are rather cute.

coffeeontheporchwithme said...

How about Gnorbert? Maybe Gnate? Gnelson, Gnickolas, Gnigel... -Jenn

Bob said...

I like simple: Bluesy

Forsythia said...

Your sister has a lot to choose from. Here's another: Baywolf.

Debi said...

Love the Gnomes! xo

With your imagination Im sure he will get the suitable name!

Deedles said...

Conehead the Barberless! He's too cute, he needs a fierce name. Or, maybe not.

Ol'Buzzard said...

How about Darwin's Dilemma?
the Ol'Buzzard

Rosemary said...

His looks as if he is a blue-blooded highlander so I would call him Hammish.

Anonymous said...

Like McBean, my first thought was Blueballs. However, his/her/their second suggestion Plaid Chad is far better and ready for prime time. I second Plaid Chad.

BALTHAZAR

Saint Balthazar; also called Balthasar, Balthassar, and Bithisarea,[1] was according to tradition one of the biblical Magi along with Caspar and Melchior who visited the infant Jesus after he was born. Balthazar is traditionally referred to as the King of Macedonia and gave the gift of myrrh to Jesus. In the Roman Catholic Church, he is regarded as a saint (as are the other two Magi).

They are so cute.

Leanna said...

I don't know of anything to call him but they are both so cute! I wish she made them for sale here in the U.S.

Tundra Bunny said...

How about Ragnar the Reckless? Or Blue Willie? I'm surprised HRH hasn't opened her yap and offered up her two cents' worth yet, LOL!

Moving with Mitchell said...

Blå Alv, which means Blue Elf in Norwegian. Or Blå Nisse, which is a blue norwegian troll. OR... maybe he’s Swedish: Blå Tomt.

Mike said...

Someone already said this but, Blue Bell.

Her Royal Highness said...

I don't USUALLY lower myself to enter such contests, at least not WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL PAYMENT, but how about "BLUEMITTEN THE PLAID"? Or "BJORN THE BLUE"? Or "TINKLEBELL THE FEROCIOUS"?

Joanne Noragon said...

Bluehand the Avenger. Not to be taken lightly.

Knut the Norse Knight.

Old Lurker said...

Everyone is focusing on the colo(u)r of this little impostor's outfit, but the real story here is that your sister is attempting to raise her social standing via your impeccable taste in home decor. Furthermore your gnome's namesake is the one and only Fearsome Beard, who is often imitated but never surpassed. Thus I propose that your sister's gnome be named "Fearful the Fraud".

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Old Lurker -- Hahahahaha, it's a good thing you have your anonymity to protect you, Lurkie. Otherwise my sister would probably hunt you down and kick your ass, LOL! She is a force to be reckoned with, all in her own right!

DVArtist said...

Oh I just love these. Your friend is very talented. Here is a name that I actually named my Son.
Troy (Irish Troightheach origin) means "fighter" or "foot soldier".
This little guy looks like he will be a protector.

bobbie said...

I second HRH's vote for "Bjorn the Blue" ~

Richard said...

Dipper, just because.

Unknown said...

The Blue Dude.

Azka Kamil said...

These are gorgeous little guys!

This N That said...

I love these.I must have a dozen that come out to celebrate the Christmas Holidays..Your crafter did a great job..I would have to name him after some team that uses those colors..Not that football team!!!!

Yvonne said...

My little troll says your sister's little troll is a peaceful one, and might be called 'Midnight, The Dream Maker". I love his little pinecone ornament.

Yvonne said...

I guess a gnome isn't a troll, but what does my troll know. He still has rose colored glasses when he looks into a mirror.

Guillaume said...

Nightly Nimrod (and funny, I bought a gnome myself recently, it should be delivered this week).

Rommy said...

OMG... so cute!

LOL, that's not my name suggestion though. How about, Mister the Mysterious?

Magaly Guerrero said...

Bluebells the Lumberjack.

Ur-spo said...

I think Neal the Nisse has a nice ring to it.

Kirk said...

Bashful blueboy.

Busy Bee Suz said...

He is SO cute. Azule Atticus?
I don't know if I'm good at naming things, but he's a doll.

Fundy Blue said...

I'm sure your sister adores her gnome, Debra. I googled naming gnomes and found hundreds and hundreds of names. I didn't know this was a big passion of gnome-lovers. LOL! All the names didn't help. I will go with Silver Balls the Ferocious! Take Care!

Tiu said...

Well in Italian we call them "nani" so she could call him (one) Nano, it's a nice word (literally you'll find translated as dwarf but in our case it means more gnome).

Magic Love Crow said...

He is so precious! Love him! Big Hugs!
